From handmade treasures to heartwarming keepsakes, here’s how to make Mum feel truly special this Mother’s Day - Mother's Day in Australia 2025 falls on Sunday, May 11.
Mother’s Day in Australia is the perfect time to show your love and appreciation with a thoughtful gift that speaks straight to your Mum’s heart. While a bunch of flowers and breaky in bed is always a sweet gesture, pairing it with a handmade touch or a meaningful keepsake can make her feel extra cherished. So whether you're crafting with the kids or picking out something special from us, we're sure that these Mother’s Day gift ideas are guaranteed to bring a smile to her face!
1. Handmade Coupon Book
Create a cute coupon book offering Mum moments of peace, acts of service, or fun experiences. Think “One Sleep-In Pass,” “Breakfast Made by Me,” or “A Cup of Tea Delivered with a Hug.” It’s a simple yet heartfelt gift that kids can make with colourful paper and their imagination.
2. Illustrated Pot Planter with Matching Plants or Flowers
Pick out one of our multi faceted illustrated pot planters or vases then pop in a little herb, succulent or flowering plant. Every time Mum waters it, she’ll be reminded of your love, and her beautiful gift.
3. DIY Portrait or Drawing of Her Favourite Things
Whether it’s a crayon masterpiece or a simple pencil sketch, drawing your Mum's favourite things will result in a keepsake that will make her feel seen. Add the date and a little message to the back and frame it for a personal touch!
4. Glass Tumbler with a Sentimental Twist
Give Mum a beautifully illustrated La La Land glass tumbler set, perfect for her morning juice or evening wine. We think you'll get bonus points by pairing it with a card that says, “Here’s to the woman who fills our lives with love, laughter and clinks of cheer.” It’s a small gesture with a big meaning.
5. Tea Cup & Saucer Set for a Quiet Moment
For the Mum who loves to slow down with a cuppa, our tea cup and saucer sets are a beautiful gift. If that's your Mum, tea isn't just something to consume, it's more likely a sacred ritual in her every day, so why not elevate it with a beautiful new set, that will always remind her of you.
6. Home Fragrance Gift Set
Turn her home into a sanctuary with our Australian-made home fragrance collection. Whether she’s a fan of calming candles, luxurious hand butters, beautiful soaps, or aromatic diffusers. With our four new fragrances, you'll be able to find something to suit her space and soothe her soul. These indulgent scents are like a warm hug in a reusable jar.
7. Custom Photo Book of Family Memories
Celebrate your Mum with a photo book filled with your most treasured family moments. Whether it’s snapshots from recent holidays, candid everyday laughs, or memories from years past, compiling them into a beautifully printed keepsake is a touching way to say “thank you for being the heart of our family.” Add little captions, quotes, or even drawings from the kids to make it even more personal. It’s the kind of gift she’ll return to again and again.
8. Framed Photo with a Personal Message
Print out a special photo of you and Mum (or grandma!) and frame it with a message like, “Thanks for helping me grow,” or “Our favourite memory together.” It’s the kind of gift that goes straight to the heart and they can proudly display in their home.
9. A Trinket Tray for Her Treasures
Give your Mum a beautiful place to keep her rings, earrings, or those little everyday essentials with one of our illustrated ceramic trinket trays. Available in a variety of shapes, including a sweet love heart. These trays make a thoughtful and practical gift she’ll use every day.
10. A Book-Nook for Cosy Reading Sessions
If Mum’s idea of bliss is curling up with a good book, why not create a little sanctuary just for her? Set up a cosy reading nook with one of our statement cushions, designed with vibrant, reversible prints that instantly refresh a lounge chair or bed. Pair it with a novel from her favourite author and maybe even a calming candle to set the mood. It’s a thoughtful way to encourage some well-earned downtime and a daily reminder that she deserves a moment to herself!
However you choose to spoil Mum, don’t forget the finishing touches. Wrap your gifts in one of our illustrated La La Land wrapping papers, and complete the moment with a Mother’s Day card that expresses your love in words. It’s the final flourish that turns a gift into a cherished memory.
